The Fool, going left or right?

Edward Tarot Hands

Yes, that is how stage directions work. However, it's what the audience or viewer sees that is the point of the crafting of the staging, and in the case of the Fool card, may have something to do with how he's positioned, again consciously or unconsciously, by the artist.

It's just a thought.



And if a performance is being recorded, "House right and left" are called "Camera right and left."



Basically the staging version of Foreground, middleground, background, the basic composition elements of all painting and drawing, and Tarot cards.

who knew The Fool could teach us so much??

Very interesting and how do you think these ideas could be attributed to other cards such as court cards who very often are facing different directions?

<smile> However you like. I only very rarely pay attention to it. Only when the reading screams at me that it's important.

wow very interesting. Do you think this is a natural responce or a cultural one? It would be interesting to see if this is true in other cultures

It's the reverse of traditions that have languages that write from right-to-left, like Hebrew and others. :) To them, a positive movement into the future is a movement from right-to-left.
